"There is a high degree of uncertainty in my answer, but there are possible next phases that are severe."
Officials say about 2,000 residents have been evacuated and 26 buildings have been destroyed since the volcano erupted last week. There have been no reports of injuries.
Lava is still flowing into the woods and residential areas. Toxic gas has also been detected. On Friday, volcanic activity set off a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that caused landslides and power outages.
Authorities say it's hard to tell when the activity will end.
